Jennifer Lopez Is Already in a ‘Long Weekend Mood’ Ahead of the Fourth of July

Jennifer Lopez is ready to kick off the holiday weekend in style! The 54-year-old multi-talented actress and singer is already in the festive spirit, celebrating the Fourth of July with a series of engaging Instagram Stories on Wednesday, July 3.

Lopez started by sharing a lively video of a woman dancing and shaking her hips, soon joined by a man who showcased his moves before the two started dancing together. The video, set to Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby,” was aptly captioned, “Long weekend mood.”

In addition to her dancing video, Lopez continued the celebration by reposting a cheerful message from her liquor brand, Delola, wishing everyone a “Happy July 4th weekend.” The accompanying photo featured the “Marry Me” actress smiling by the poolside, holding one of her signature Delola drinks. She also shared a recipe video that paired Delola Light Margarita Cocktails with Chili Lime Shrimp Skewers, giving her followers a perfect holiday treat idea.

Later in the evening, Lopez shared a more intimate moment on her Instagram Stories. She posted a video of herself sitting next to one of her twins, Emme, riding in a car with the top down. At one point, Lopez leaned affectionately into her child. The video, captioned “bom dia meu povo” or “good morning, my people” in Portuguese, leaves fans wondering about the context of the video.

Earlier in the week, on Monday, July 1, Lopez was spotted out and about in New York City. She was seen wearing a bold white crop top with “JLO BE MY MAMA” printed in black letters, paired with Acne Studios Super Baggy Fit Jeans, and her wedding ring prominently displayed.

Meanwhile, her husband, Ben Affleck, was photographed at his office in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Dressed in a dark-colored suit, Affleck held an iced coffee in his right hand with his wedding band visible on his left. Despite their individual public appearances, a source close to Lopez told PEOPLE on June 28 that the couple is “focused on their separate lives” this summer and do not have any plans together.

The couple, who rekindled their early-2000s romance and tied the knot in 2022, have faced challenges in their marriage. PEOPLE reported in mid-May that they were living separately in L.A. due to tensions. A source confirmed on June 28 that Affleck had been moving his belongings out of their shared home and continues to reside at a Brentwood rental, focusing on his work and spending time with his kids.

As Jennifer Lopez embraces the holiday spirit, her fans are reminded of her resilience and vibrant personality, even amid personal challenges. This Fourth of July, Lopez’s festive mood and family moments are sure to inspire many to find joy in the little things and celebrate with loved ones.
